The Arizona Cardinals announced a couple of roster moves Saturday. Linebackers Gerald Hayes and O'Brien Schofield were added to the active roster. Hayes had been on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list and Schofield was on the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list.

To make room on the roster, wide receiver Onrea Jones and linebacker Alex Hall were released.

Hayes was sidelined by a back injury and Schofield missed the Cardinals' off-season workouts and training camp after injuring his left knee at practice for the Senior Bowl.

Hayes (6-foot-1, 250 pounds) is entering his eighth season with the Cardinals. He appeared in 14 games (13 starts) last season and had 62 tackles and one forced fumble.

Schofield (6-3, 242) was the Cardinals fourth-round selection in the 2010 NFL draft out of Wisconsin. He earned All-Big Ten first-team honors as a senior last year after recording 62 tackles and 12 sacks.
